Anyone have a contact number or information about Western Bullet Company in Missoula MT?

On the advise of a friend, who has ben pleased with WBC products in the past, I ordered some cast bullets in mid November which were listed as in stock. I have tried emailing multiple times and have not gotten a reply. I also tried the phone number obtained on Google and it is not active.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

In the past this company has never been easy to contact by any means. In the past this company has been known not to deliver. This is what I personally have read. The homepage says: Last Updated:Oct 1, 2021. Missoula Police Dept. is (406) 552-6303 & Community Support Specialist is (406) 552-6300. Good luck.

It's been a while but I never had any problems with them delivering.

Thank you for the replies. I am happy to wait if the owner/operator would respond to my emails but it is clear to me now that I would have been time and money ahead to purchase a mold and cast my own.

I was simply trying to make some light 32-20 loads for my uncle as a Christmas gift. I ordered the bullets in mid November thinking brass would be the difficult part but I was mistaken.

I will probably report Western Bullet to my credit card company as a start and see what recourse I have.

FWIW I received the bullets that I ordered. Poor communication but good follow thru I guess.

Thanks

Bullets were good -no complaints other than communication.

I have ordered a couple times from them. Last time was probably a year and a half ago. Like others said communication is poor to non existent. Did receive bullets and for the money are a bargain. I am still shooting them and they shoot well and the hardness is consistent with different batches.

Another bit of recent experience with Western. I ordered three different bullets from them on February 21st. I received them today, decently packaged and they look just fine. In my .45-70 Rollingblock they grouped well, and I am pleased with the buying experience. Some have given poor reviews, but that is not my experience. I was not in a hurry so the timing was just fine. I had no need to contact them after ordering, and would definately order again.
